For me it is fine either way. I just hope in future league races it is clearly stated if BC is allowed or not. If it is not mentioned in the rules, there will always be 1 or 2 guys in the race using BC and gaining an advantage over others. There is nothing more annoying than to realize after the race that one of the reasons (or the only reason) why you lost to some driver is that he was using BC.

14 points.. that's quite impressive. I tried to answer a bit differently than others but it didn't pay off this time

In my opinion, this was the most interesting season in last couple of years. At least Mercedes wasn't the only car capable of winning races anymore.

Yeah, that's why we need a rule. There is always someone who wants to take an advantage, even though most of the drivers would decide something else. As Pete said, BC should either be recommended or disallowed. Personally, both are fine for me. But as long as majority want to use auto clutch, it would be easier just to disallow BC. Also, if over half of the grid used AC, I would feel quite "dirty" to use BC even if it was recommended.

Because, for example in last Tuesday's combo, it was possible to gain over 0.1s per lap by using it. One tenth is a lot in a track with only two turns.

Most people want to use auto clutch for some reason. I don't know, maybe it's because it is a little bit easier to use or maybe some people don't have a good button on their wheel for it. Also, newcomers probably don't even know that bc is faster. So bc makes difference between inexperienced and experienced drivers even bigger and races become less interesting.

That's why using auto clutch has become kind of fair play rule among LFS drivers (that I know). There was discussion on this topic also on Cityliga forums some time ago. There admins eventually decided to disallow bc.

Yes I know this is just a fun racing league, but it isn't any fun that some people decide to use bc while majority sticks with auto clutch. Let's keep it fun for everyone

gg except that several top drivers used button clutch.. :/

I had exciting times with drivers being lapped. Really glad I managed to finish the race without any major incident after all that happened during the race.

The track was great. Truly enjoyed sc1 and sc2. Nice flow.

Great to hear you will carry on organizing Tuesday races. It's the simplicity of race format, changing cars, and also the effort you put into race reports and statistics every time that keep RTFR going strong while other LFS racing leagues seem to fade away. Thanks for another year.

Oh.. I just picked Rockingham Oval for the next FM Event Well, next week is going to be oval lovers' week.

Shortest pitstop and most punctures in the last lap \o/

Cool standings table layout
